Downsview Dental Care In-House Versus Take-Home Teeth Whitening | Page 4

We all want to maintain the radiant smiles we have had since our youth. However,
over time, teeth may yellow or discolor depending on natural factors or lifestyle
choices. Fortunately, teeth whiteners help restore some of this luster back and
regain our confidence to smile again.
Teeth may yellow or darken due to the frequent use of tobacco, consuming dark
colored vegetables like beet, or drinking caffeinated beverages like coffee and
tea. Dark colored fruits like berries and grapes may darken teeth as well.
Frequent consumption of wine (which made from grapes) also contributes to
discolored teeth.
When discoloration occurs, teeth whitening present a ready solution for
brightening a dark smile. This procedure can either be done at the dentist (In-
house) or at home (take-home) using easy-to-follow instructions. The option you
go for will depend on several factors which we will outline below.
